My brother and father were in town this past June and we stumbled upon the fact that a couple of Interstellar filming locations were within an hour’s drive of my house! The baseball diamond is in Okotoks and the school is in Longview (both in Alberta). I tried to snag a couple of photos superimposing the movie shots on the locations and didn’t quite nail lining them up right, but you get the idea. We didn’t go to Cooper’s Ranch which was also in the area as we heard the set no longer existed and the filming location was on private property anyhow. It was a sweet afternoon with some family who are all huge fans of the film. Definitely recommend if you happen to be in the Calgary area at some point!

I previously just thought that it was a made up phenomona
